New contact management format - not goodl!
As of 18 July 2019, you changed the way in which users can administer contact details. The new contact management is confusing and the layout does not give a good overview over contacts. Please return to the old format!

lists will not allow me to add names. This is crazy. I love yahoo, but I am going to change email because i need to make a list of names to send to.

The advice on how to delete a contact is not accurate in accordance with the options available. Can you look at the options and provide me with the accurate advice.

Is Yahoo even listening? All these comments about on feature that is really important in the functionality of using Email, and I don't see Yahoo doing anything to fix this. I used to be able to take my Contacts and put them into groups that I can manage. Then I could select specific contacts within a group I wished to send an email to, or I could select all to send an email to the entire group. I can't do that any more. It's actually worthless to even have "Contact Lists". What good are they? Are you even listening, Yahoo?

How do I delete unwanted entries from my contacts list. Some were added automatically simply because I sent an e mail to someone. How do I remove them? In the past it was simple. A block checked and click delete. Tons of complaints but yahoo does nothing. g mail is looking better and better!

Agree completely! Awkward to use; hate the right side format. Also some of my contact are getting combined. What's up with that.

Requests for change of use of contact list has been going on into 2 yr. Obviously isn't going to happen. If you change to another email address you are give the option to notify all your Yahoo contacts.

The old version was much easier to create groups and change/edit contacts assigned to those groups. The new "list" feature is not user friendly. If it wasn't for the hassle of changing my email address and notifying all of my contacts of the change, I would have already left yahoo mail. Bring back the simpler old version.

Address book used to be great. Why the change to remove functionality? Bring back the ability to export to mailing labels. CSV is not cutting it.

I've just spent 10 minutes trying to add a new email contact. None the wiser. There seems no way for me to just enter my new contact's email address and save it. What absolute rubbish. It used to be so easy, even a pensioner like me could use it. Perhaps Yahoo just wants to get rid of us older users.

Yahoo you broke what wasn't broken with our address books. Now the address book is useless! I can't correct or update any entry. I can't even find a contact! I need to delete a lot of old incorrect information, but can't even find the correct person name to make changes. The auto address fill in is wrong on my own email address & I can't find my own name listed to delete the incorrect one.

It is extremely frustrating to modify and/or delete contacts with the way contacts are now displayed on the right hand side. Give me the option to access the old method of the full page display that simplifies the methods to change or delete contacts!

I am now unable to edit contacts now that the layout is on the RHS of the screen. Please can it be returned to the original layout?

Your new Contact Management is absolutely "Horrible"!!!! Next time just let a 5th grader do it.....they could probably do a better job!

Why couldn't you just leave the contact information the way it was. It worked!! Now I can't find anything under contacts. Everything doesn't need improving!!!!

In addition, I am very frustrated with all the names showing up on my contacts list. They are people I don't even know..strangers!.Yahoo, why are you adding these names? It's an intrusion. I spend a lot of time manually deleting hundreds of them and the list starts expanding again. If you think it's some great feature, it's exactly the opposite. The best solution is to have an option in settings not to allow automatic adding of names to my personal contact list.
